I try to write stories that give people hope in times of darkness. I use folklore and fairy tales as an accessible lens to examine challenging topics and present them in a way that shows our potential to overcome. In Frail Little Embers you’ll find foxes, apple trees, handmade teapots, masquerade masks, hot chocolate that opens a door to the land of the dead, several witches of various dispositions, and books with the power to heal a broken heart.
